Commodore Kittson's Rataplan.

He
Turf, Field and Farm.
On Wednesday night of last week, in
the Hoffman house, Mai. Hubbard said
TO few friends: ''It is secret, and |
will try you with it. Probably you will
hold on to it, but the chances are you
Will not. If my horse keeps right will
beat every horse on the turf this year,
excepting fremont. / except him be-
cause the son of Virgil, in my opinion,
will not be seen at the post. Rataplan
Is a race-horse-is wonder. / think he
VIII go sound. Keep your eyes on him."
On Thursday afternoon, when Maj.
Hubbard returned from Sheepshead
Bay, he found Commodore Kittson ard
Col. w. S. King waiting for him, and
without any beating about the bushes,
the commodore said: II see that Mr..
Cassatt wants to run The Bard
against any horse in the coun-
try for $4,000 a side. If Rat
apian .,e is doing well you
llenge is accepted" The major broke
into a cold perspiration, hesitated and
replied: II have bad news for you, com
modore. We started RatapIan along
this morning and he pulled up lame. 1t
is the old trouble. do not know how
bad it is. but have ordered his work
stopped" Col. King broke the silence
which followed with the remark: Fate
seems to be against you, commodore -
and then particulars were asked for
and given. The weakness which forced
Rataplan into retirement last season has
developed again; the leg is not as strong
rs it seemed to be, and the future ca
Feer of the horse is uncertain. There
are many dreams in connection with the
turf which come to nothing. The horse
is a delicate piece of machinery, and
yOa can never tell when something is
going to break.

Judges at Agricultural Fairs.

In discussion OF the existing draw.
backs to the success Of agricultural fairs,
the Secretary OF the Pennsylvania State
Board Of Agriculture, speaks as follows re
garding the appointment of judges
Experience and observation convince
us that many OF the internal 5lssensions
which so much interfere with financial ste.
cess OF those organizations, is caused by
the present system Of appointing Judges.
In most cases list Of judges is named to
be present at certain hour on named
day. They are seldom present, and an un.
authorized ch airman proceeds to MI vacan
cies on this committee as per the schedule
and the error, which afterwards causes &C
much trouble and hard feelings, is commit
ted. Instead of this, let competent judges
be selected outside the county pay theil
expenses and avoid ninc-tenths of the i'll
feeling which nearly always follows the
awards of local judges This may be OBJ.
jected to on the plea that 1t would involve
the expenditure OF some money but We
would instance exhibitions which have
been almost financially wrecked by bad
feeling, resulting from awards made al
the exhibition of the prev ious year. These
exhibitions should be conducted IN bust
ness way, and II the expenditure Of on,
hundred dollars will pay them, from bust
ness standpoint, 1t is all right"

Monte CrtstO.

Mr.. Alden Benedict, supported by his
own powerful company, will appear in the
Opera House Thursday of next week in
the greatest drama Of the age, Alexander
Dumas masterpiece, "Monte Cristo." In
reference to an entertainment recently given
in Raleigh, the Neps and Observer thus says:
"In the presentation of the piece in this
city, the company showed that II merited all
the words OF praise that has been given
1t. One very strong point with the CON-
pany is the superb scenery which it carries,
being faithful representations of the places
and surroundings at which the events in
the play transpire. One of the thrilling
scenes represented Alden Benedict as mo.
II" escaping from a cell in prison on the
borders of the sea, by substituting himself
for dead man in an adjoining cell, whose
body he took from the sack in which il
was to be thrown into the sea and put him
self in place of it. He was thrown into
the sea in due form and cutting through
the sack with knife made his escape.
The rolling and splashing OF the sea was
realistically represented, and rs mo. ~
emerged from the rolling deep and clam
bered upon a rock, the audience was
thrilled and the hall shook with applause.
Other scenes were as strikingly represented
as this aud elected admiration.

children at home at night. There is many
a sod that lies over the child whose dowr

children! Then, say, take care of YOU
